The great irony of this is that Steve comes off as one of those high school jocks that laughed at "NERDS. NERDS. NERDS." and now here he is a 40 year old man attending something just as nerdy as any dungeons and dragons tournament while spending his week calling multiple radio shows nearly daily. The question is what would high school Elmhurst Steve do to this incarnation of Elmhurst Steve? Oh yeah, he misrepresents bowling scores on the internet and brags about being inducted into a softball hall of fame he had to pay to get a ticket to.
Inductees don't pay for their tickets. But any tickets you might want for your spouse, children, etc... has to be purchased. But you are right about some things in your post. I did laugh about Fantasy Football and couldn't imagine getting involved in it when I was younger. But I got in a league with guys from a softball team about 10 years ago and it wound up being a lot of fun. From the draft to the weekly trash talking to the the competition involved in winning a league, it reeled me in and I was hooked from that point on. But I'm not alone, fantasy football is one of the most popular gaming activities around. As much as it's fun to compete in leagues with friends, having a place to go where John Clayton, Matthew Berry, Stephania Bell, Mike Ditka, and radio guys like Waddle, Silvy, Jurko, Carmen and Harry are part of the event.....maybe I am nerdy about this, but I think it's a blast.
